Traveler Editor Kurt Repanshek Spurns Pulitzer, Goes into Hiding

Have you seen Kurt Repanshek? We need to talk to him.

This just in.

After being officially informed that he is a finalist for this year’s Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing, National Parks Traveler editor Kurt Repanshek shocked the Pulitzer committee by requesting that his name be immediately withdrawn from the competition.

Sources close to the Pulitzer committee have confided that Repanshek, who seemed “very agitated,” has admitted that nearly all of his published works in Traveler were either plagiarized or ghost written by Jim Burnett.

Repanshek has gone into hiding. He was last seen in the Virgin Islands in the company of a gorgeous babe that he claims to be his wife.

I would look under a large piece of coral around Buck Island ;-)) OMAR

I was just in Olympic National Park and spotted a guy that looked like that. He was riding a mountain bike off trail through Douglas-fir saplings with an AK-47 strapped to his back....

Could be him, I suppose. Tell me, was this guy constantly banging into trees and falling off his bike? Did he seem hopelessly lost?

I hope they are mixing their side action with beautiful wildlife. That is my kind of April Fool's Day:).

I could have sworn that was him I just saw careening around a new ATV trail in Great Smoky with a concealed weapon and a 'just say no to the plovers of Cape Hatteras' sign....

A very large piece of coral placed on him by his wife just to make sure he doesn't surface to soon.
